Enhanced Unusual Activity page

The Unusual Activity page is now simpler and easier to use. Confidence ratings are renamed, with filters that show counts and save your selections. Views are clearer, lists sort by priority, and detail modals are streamlined.

Add context to rate changes

You can now include notes when updating member pay or bill rates. This helps track why changes were made and keeps historical records clear.

Smarter suspicious app detection

Our updated detection system now flags suspicious apps even when they’re running in the background—not just when they’re active on screen. Get stronger protection against fake activity with enhanced tracking and built-in alerts.

You can now export your audit log directly from the report page—choose CSV or PDF to quickly save, share, or archive key account activity for better visibility and compliance.
